Newspaper went too far reporting morbid details

I find it in the poorest of taste that reporter Teresa Moore, publisher Mike Caldwell and The Ironton Tribune chose to disclose all the details of the Miller tragedy in a report last week.

It did nothing more than satisfy the morbid curiosity of crazy, nosey people in this world.

The article relayed too much information about what did or did not happen in the past and what happened that morning.

I feel this article was very insensitive to the family’s privacy, and I was saddened and shocked that The Tribune chose to publish such a terribly hurtful article for the family Linda loved and left behind.
